It was near the present site of Alexandria, Ohio, at the mouth of the Scioto River. [31] Rivière Blanche was a name given by the French to several streams which contained unusually clear waters. From distances mentioned this was probably the Little Miami. Dunn (_History of Indiana_, p. 65, note 1) thinks it was the present White Oak Creek. [32] Rivière à la Roche (Rocky River) was the present Great Miami. It was called the "Rocky River" because of its numerous rapids. [33] _Jesuit Relations and Allied Documents_, vol. lxix, p. 183.
